A question?

[Sam Spade]

When people think about suicide are they just looking for attention

Such a simple question does not lead to a simple answer.

Although some may be seeking attention, there are many others so unhappy with their life that they don't see the point anymore.

If the situation arrives where someone we know is contemplation suicide, we should not judge, but be there to support and help.

Many people during there life will at some stage suffer from mental illness.
Unfortunately there is still a stigmal attached to this issue which is why so many suffer in silence until it is too late.

A cry for help or attention?

I wouldn't care if it was, it just means that individual needs our support.
